Speaking of political side shows, or new
party movements, we have often wondered
why it is that men accredited with ordinary
common sense In other matters will permit
themselves to be led off by every
idiosyncrasy presented by polit-
cal quacks, adventures and
chronic place hunters whose only object
and sole purpose is self, self ACCOMPLISHMENT,
personal profit, pecuniary or otherwise
mainly for money to be obtained. The
idea of Republicans, men who have afil
lated with the grand old party and partici-
pated in its heroic encounters with the en-
emies of popular rights; who have aided
by their ballots in achieving the innumer-
able victories that adorn the pages of its
history; we say the idea of such men fol
lowing the lead Of such men as above al
luded to, when they know that such course
is but aiding and sbetting the enemy, would
be exasperadng were it not SO ridiculous.
1t is but few years ago that very many,
infatuated by Its gewgaws, tinsel and beat
ing of tom toms, were lead off by the green
back craze, with the fact staring them In
the face that the best system of finances the
world ever saw had been devised and prac-
tically demonstrated by the Republican par
ty In its administration of the government;
the best not only in that
the national honor was main
tanned under trying circumstances and
its obligations promptly met, but that It was
done by 30 wise and equitable distribution
of the burdens upon the people that none
realized burden was being borne; at the
ssme time 80 rapidly lessening the burden
of Indebtedness as to practically extinguish
1t within decade from its creation. And
yet, with these indisputable facts, these
ungetoverable arguments that ought not to
need repeating, this lesson that ought to be
indelibly fixed in the mind of every citizen,
we find now and then individuals willing
to forsake the house of their friends and 60
whoring after strange gods. So It Is with
the aurrent snoradic effort to bring forward
the 30 called United Labor party. The
true laboring man is bound to admit that
the only real, practical friend he ever had
is the Republican party-his friend In ele-
waiting the moral standard Of the wage
worker and protecting him in the acquire
m emit of fair rate of wages for his labor
But why pursue the subject furthers No
one idead party has ever existed for any
length Of time or accomplished any prac
teal, lasting good and never will.

POLITICAL JUGGLERY.

The political fifth wheelers, SO to speak.
seems to be making desperate efforts to get
to the front again by revivifying, or rather,
creating new one idead party, this time tax
ing up the labor idom under the guise and
name of United Labor party. A conven-
ton of that following in Ohio was recently
held In Cincinnati; later similar meeting
was held in Rochester, N. Y, and the Gin

dorsed. Now comes squad up about To-

Shortly after the opening of the dis
trict court yesterday Thomas ]. Kelly,
the eX-license inspector, was arraigned
upon one of the two indictments found
against him, to which he pleaded not
guilty. The Indictment read that
Thomas ]. Kelly, being police officer
of the city of Minneapolis, did, on the
first day of September, 1856, apprOpri-
ate to his own use 5000 which he had re-
ceived in discharge of his duty. The
witnesses examined by the grand jury
were as follows: NJ. w. Glenn,

James Gilgas and Doc Tanner.
Kelly gave bail for his appearance in
$500 with Byron Toune and William
Boutelle as bondsmen. and the case was
continued over the term. By the adj
vice of his attorney, j. G. Warrall,
Kelly declined to talk to the newSpa-

IMPORTANT DAMAGE SUIT.
Testing the Responsibility of Con-
tractors--$2,O 600 Asked.

The case of Peter A. johnson against
the Cook & Hyde Stone company was
on trial yesterday before Judge Young.
The plaintiff was employed and worked
in that capacity until the 18th of last
December. on which day he was di-
rected against his will. as he affirmS,
to aid in guiding certain
stone of the weight of two tons
held by a derrick, to its final resting
place in the foundation of a building.
The derrick was out of plumb, and the
chain which held the block, through
which the rope passed, broke, through
the lack of mechanical skill in the ar
rangement of the derrick and the un-
due strain thereby thrown upon the
guy ropes and those which
held the stone. This mass of
tackle fell partly upon Johnson, crush
ing one arm, breaking his nose, tearing
off part of his scalp and face and injur-
ing his spine permanently. The result
of this last injury is that the man is
gradually wasting away. He was un-
able to walk. to the witness stand
on his crutcheS, and had
to be assisted by the sheriff.
He is so weak that he is unable to sit
up but short time, and reclines upon
a cot. which has been brought into the
court room. Upon the counsel's table
is placed a working model of the der
rick for the purpose of Illustration. The
damages asked for is SIC, 1000.

Louis Feldman was dilapidated
specimen yesterday morning when he
showed up in the municipal court. He
has been gay drummer boy in the Sal

and at other places he could not remem-
Der. The boy is about ten years old

GUESTS OF THE SENIORS.
The University Eighty-Eights En-
ferfain Their Sister COlIe1eS

Within the limits of St. Paul and
Minneapolis are no less than three pros
porous colleges, fully equipped and
rapidly taking position among the
first colleges of the land. These three
great colleges of the future are the
State university at East Minneapolis.
Hamline university at Hamline, and
Manchester at Manchester. Last even
ing the students and faculties of
all met at the State university,
the senior class of the STATED having in
vited the students and faculties of both
Hamline and Manchester as well as the
under graduates and faculty of the State
university, to a reception. The enter
tainment was held in the main building
of the university. nearly all the rooms
an d halls on the first floor being used in
receiving the guests. The long corridor
was pTettily decorated and Illumi-
mated with numerous Chinese Ian
terms. DAM orchestra furnished an ele-
CANT musical programme and plentiful
and daintily arranged spread was par
taken of at about 10 o'clock. After the
supper was done ample justice to. an
entirely impromptu dance was started,
which finally resulted in nearly every
one present joining in. The attendance
all through the reception was very
large. and included, beside the immense
number of the state university people,
the following lady and gentleman stu

DOWN THEY MUST GO.
The Meeting to Discuss Lowering
the Hastings & Dakota Tracks.

The crowd that turned out last night
to discuss the matter of lowering the
Hastings & Dakota tracks was not
nearly so large as the Importance of the
question warranted. Capt. Z. {. Babb
presided, Ed 4. Stevens was secretary,
and Aid. Cooley presented the situation
as it now exists. reading the several
propositions that have already been laid
before council. Some little surprise was
created by unexpected opposition TO the
movement, which was headed by Christ
tOpher TOusley and few others, who
claimed that to lower the tracks, as pro-
posed. would prevent any side tracks
and would drive away the business en-
terpriseS now located along the line.
The argument was good one, as far as
it went, the point being that to cut off
the side tracks would do away with all
distributing points i'll the ward; but
it was soon developed that all Opposi-
ton came from few persons
who either did business directly in the
line or who owned abutting property
that they hoped would some day come
into the market for railroad purposes,
while the entire mass of property own
erS and jewellers i'll the Seventh, Eighth
and Thirteenth wards are unit in
favor Of the lowering. John Day Smith,
Alderman StOneman and Alderman
Garvey voiced the sentiment when they
told of the nuisance of that track cross
ing over thirty-fve prominent thorough
fares at grade and proving a Chinese
wall in the way of barrier to set
Ting up the district to the south. The
meeting did not take advantage of the
situation and railroad through a resolu-
ton favOring the proposition. as 1t
a full and thorough expression of senti-
ment. and as 100 people do not repre-
sent 10000, an adjournment of one week
was taken. 1t is plainly to be seen the
people are warmly in favor of lowering
and they recognize there is no time like
the present. The Improvement is worth

Representatives of the Two Pro-
fessiOns Commune With Each

The lawyers evidently did not con-
slider themselves subp9naed to attend
the Press club reception to the legal
profession last evening, and the number
who responded was limited to a few.
Nevertheless. an entertaining even
ing was enjoyed. Prof. Carl V.
Lachmund and Herr WeStrem,
the violiniSt, contributed. delightful
music. James Grey, on behalf of the
club, read a humorous but graceful adj
dress of welcome, in which, for the
benefit cot the lawyers, he briefly de-
scribed the unique organization known
as the Press club of Minneapolis. OF
the latter profession he very neatly said
that the old truism that the writer of a
cOuntry's songs made its laws was a
gauZy old fraud, for couple of lawyers
could have laws passed which would
make song writing crime.
r. J. Evans led for the defense in a
pleasant, entertaining talk of an in
formal nature. He said he had once
edited a newspaper and had suffered the
consequences. He had enjoyed the
fruits of the financial prosperity of a
journalist. and had paid a 1-cent judy
ment in libel suit. He said he did not
intend to deal out chunks of taffy to the
press, but before he concluded he found
himself paying a most lattering tribute
TO the greatness of the newspaper. He
called Minneapolis the child of the
press. and said the town had been made
by printers ink.
A T. Ankeny gave one of his old
fashioned talks to the boys. Clay Nc
Cauley, j. Newton Mind and q. NJ. V.

pressed the desire that similar recep-
ton should be held later on, at which

to give all the details of the warfare he
proposes to wage. He excuses his son,
as matter OF course, so far as
il can be done, and intimateS he
has done nothing but contract
civil debts that cannot be collected by
criminal process. The avowed object
of his visit is certainly TO enforce the
contract he alleges W. Gardner made
with the Star-NeWs, and perhaps to in
Stitute proceedings for criminal libel.
and the perhaps has a very large p. He
makes light of the government charge of
swindling preferred against his son.
but on that subject his is not
competent testimony. He claims that

and he proposes to collect it. The Star

worried over the situation. On the
other hand, they assume very belli-
cOse attitude. Asked for his views.

father of W. Gardner Osgoodby, of whilOm

verdict. as that paperis known 10 possess I'M
speakable affection for the Star-News and
It's prOpFietOrs We do not object TO MI. Os-
gooby trying his cases in the newspapers if
it amuses him. But when he says, through
the journal. that he has evidence
that the criminal proceedings against
his son were Instituted by the
agency of the Star-News people, he writes a
falsehOOd, because there is no such evidence,
and falsehoOd which he may be called on
10 prove in court if he is the wealthy man he
j. represented 10 be. As for his other state
ment that Mr. Nimocks has made himself
liable for $4,000 worth of stock, it is the
merest bosh. If Osgoodby has any valid
claims which he thinks he can inforce, the
sooner he begins trying them in court, and
not through the newspaper, the sooner he
will prove himself TO be a lawyer.
